Why „should“ everyone use transient mark mode? Not everyone has to like that
setting, and some may prefer to work without it.
I myself find it confusing because when I set the mark, I want just to mark
that point for later use (to jump quickly there, for instance).
transient-mark-mode assumes that I always want to *start a region*, which is
not true.
I also like to select text without highlighting; it is less distracting and
more readable.
I wish you a (transient-mark-mode -1) and a happy new year :-)
